Libraries of target sites were incorporated into double-stranded DNA by PCR with Taq DNA Polymerase (NEB) on a pUC19 starting template with primers “N5-PvuI” and “CCR5-224-N4,” “CCR5-224-N5,” “CCR5-224-N6,” “CCR5-224-N7,” “VF2468-N4,” “VF2468-N5,” “VF2468-N6,” or “VF2468-N7,” yielding an approximately 545-bp product with a PvuI restriction site adjacent to the library sequence, and purified with the Qiagen PCR Purification Kit. Library-encoding oligonucleotides were of the form 5′ backbone-PvuI site-NNNNNN-partially randomized half-site–N4–7–partially randomized half site-N-backbone 3′. The purified oligonucleotide mixture (approximately 10 μg) was blunted and phosphorylated with a mixture of 50 units of T4 Polynucleotide Kinase and 15 units of T4 DNA polymerase (NEBNext End Repair Enzyme Mix, NEB) in 1x NEBNext End Repair Reaction Buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 10 mM dithiothreitol, 1 mM ATP, 0.4 mM dATP, 0.4 mM dCTP, 0.4 mM dGTP, 0.4 mM dTTP, pH 7.5) for 1.5 hours at room temperature. The blunt-ended and phosphorylated DNA was purified with the Qiagen PCR Purification Kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol, diluted to 10 ng/μL in NEB T4 DNA Ligase Buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 10 mM dithiothreitol, 1 mM ATP, pH 7.5) and circularized by ligation with 200 units of T4 DNA ligase (NEB) for 15.5 hours at room temperature. Circular monomers were gel purified on 1% TAE-Agarose gels. 70 ng of circular monomer was used as a substrate for rolling-circle amplification at 30 °C for 20 hours in a 100 μL reaction using the Illustra TempliPhi 100 Amplification Kit (GE Healthcare). Reactions were stopped by incubation at 65 °C for 10 minutes. Target site libraries were quantified with the Quant-iT PicoGreen dsDNA Reagent (Invitrogen). Libraries with N4, N5, N6, and N7 spacer sequences between partially randomized half-sites were pooled in equimolar concentrations for both CCR5-224 and VF2468.
